I'm genuinely considering one it'd unironically be an upgrade on my ancient shit
>>106830573Asus makes shiny, pretty products that don't age well
Is it good to buy a sapphire 9070xt for 620 euros now for a new PC? Or is it better to look for an Nvidia card with a similari price?I want the card to be usable for as long as possibile, even with reduce settings in the coming years
>>106830599I just need to hold me over until next years launches
>>106830600It's a fair price and the cards really been rock solid since its launch, no issues besides Americans getting raped over its pricing there. It may drop another 20 on black friday if you can wait a couple months. Just check if it comes with 12v2-6 connector or not, I've not seen much of 9070XTs with them going up in flames but in case you want to avoid the chance completely.
(repost)The 6950xt for $379 on amazon sounds like a pretty good deal.You could get a 9070xt at MicroCenter for $600 like 2 days ago idk if they sold out or not, but that's a lot more money.The a770 16gb version afaik still hasn't caught up with the 6950xt, though it might still be driver issues.
also what happened to ram prices, if anyone here knowsIt's like ram and gpu traded places as overpriced.

If you want The Premium HDR Experienceâ„¢ in 2025 you NEED to buy a premium OLED TVOLED TVs reach over 2000 nits+ In 10% window highlights, 400-500 nits full screen sustained at this current point in time, beating even minileds in certain contentThere is simply no getting around this factthe optimal rig for current gaymin is as such, one large TV 55-83" (Premium market segment and panels) + 27-32" 240-500hz OLED screen for eSportshit, remember even the nerfed low brightness 42" LG oleds are twice as bright in real HDR content compared to monitorsfurthermore, you can find oled tvs very cheap compared to monitors often, stack a few sales and you can get 55-77" screen sizes for the same cost as 27-32", it's simply brutalthis I conclude this after extensive research

>>106830969thanks>>106830760>nothing is happeningYOU LIEDthe PERFECT STORM is HAPPENING
was there ever an improved 4090? TI/Super/whatever?I remember the 3090 having a TI right?Would be cool if when they announce the 50 super series in 6 months (and not a day earlier) they also restock a new model of 4090 TI
>>106831071nope
>>106831071They can't ever go back. They don't know how to make their old stuff. They literally can't make a 30 series anything. fastcompanywoo
>>106831104Ampere is still in production anon.
Story timeA friend of mine that asked me to help him pick parts for a pc is still debating on getting a 5090.I keep telling him that its not needed, that its not for him, that he only plays lol and some valorant and that a 5070TI will hold him perfectly well and then in a few years if he wants to renew the pc he can use the FUCKING TWO EXTRA THOUSAND DOLLARS THE 5090 WOULD COST to buy himself a new pc with a 7070 or 7080 or whatever he wants then.I mean literally, pocket those 2k and in three (or five) years sell your mobo ram cpu and gpu and use that money and the 2k you saved today and build another fantastic machine that will hold you for several years He is not convincedAnd he isn't even in the country so i cant fucking hit him irl to make him understand since he moved to another country.Whatever, thats all i just wanted to vent.
>>106830906>more material and shipping costs>>106830919>adaptive brightness garbage spazzing out each time I alt tabyou made this up>>106831134>He is not convincedbased
>>106831134the retards who buy 5080 and up have no concept of what gpus are at a hardware or software level. they're more retarded than console fags. they buy with feeling like "NINTENDO WONT HURT ME" instead of being objective.
>>106830486>>GPU>Budget: Used GPU between $100-$250Where's the B580?
>>106830486I am watching 1440p monitor reviews. I don't like the bleeding on budget monitors and want some good colors (no OLED). Is it worth it to get a Cooler Master Tempest GP27Q with a prolonged response time? What's a good alternative?
Is the Samsung 990 Pro a clear upgrade over the 990 Evo Plus?
>>106831342Also he is literally playing on 1440p, i told him that with a 5090 he should move to 4k and hence switch his screens and the argument was that he liked his monitorsSo fucking wait a generation or two buy a 60 or 70 card in a few years and then replace your screens with 4k screens>yeah but what if i can't run a game in that time cause i didnt pick a 5090 nowI dont mind him being uninformed i mind that he seems brainwashed by fucking propaganda or by "bigger number always better"Fuck njudea and my retarded friend
Sorry if this isn't the right thread, but do you guys have any speakers recommendations? I realized my speakers might be of legal age or soonish (Creative Inspire T3030), so I thought it might be time to upgrade.
>>106831421creative pebble if you just need noisemakersedifiers mr4s/r1280s if you just want something decent enoughdac + bookshelf speakers if you want something that sounds good
>>106831392Technically yeah but if you're not regularly moving 100s of GB of data there's no noticeable difference. Indeed, there's little difference between a 990PRO and a cheapo SATA drive outside of that one use-case.
want to install linux on a new drive before I upgrade my hardware, does brand matter here?I only have sata slots left, so I would've gone with the870 evo, but there's some info from Debian about samsung mishandling TRIM and now I'm kind of lost. So does it matter?
>>106830681>>106830950apologiesdyslexia + Amazon's shitty searchAmazon is just mildly discounting the 6750, not the 6950.nothing nice is happening today. Enjoy your day(the zoom f3 can be had used for $200, though, that's true)>>106831116:^) betcha they can't make a 3090
>>106831421Just like with a PC you'll want to give your budget+uses. Though even then answers might not be forthcoming - there's a lot of options for audio and most people here aren't experts. I'd say >>106831462 has the right idea and I'd add that you shouldn't spend more than about $500 without some basic room treatment.
>>106831134>>106831342>>106831408This reads as somsone being really assblasted that someone choose the highest end GPU as opposed to AMD shit.
>purchase 5080>click "no delivery code needed">at work>check phone>Delivery attempted today>>>>attempted
>>1068315435080 is literally 7-10% faster than 5070ti yet its $300-400 more. its retarded no matter what. its for people who dont know what gpus are but have too much money than sense. they cant even read gpu-z they just stare it blank like a retard as their ROPS are missing and their boost clock is under.
>>106831551I dont really get deliveries where they got your phone number and email but they dont call or tell you when they're going to make the delivery, or have an website where you pick the time window
>>106830986I do it for free, and also I'm an aryan white supremacist
>>106831543>>106831555It's the equivalent of retards buying $800 motherboards and 420mm AIO for their 90w 9800X3D just because they can.
>>106831543>that someone choose the highest end GPU as opposed to AMD shithuh?i recommended him a 5070TI cause it fits what he needs so i dont even know where the amd barb is coming fromHe hasn't even tried to talk into a 5080 either, he just "wants" the bigger crd just because it exists>well its not your money let himI know its not but he asked me for help so i will try to help him, in the end if he decides against my advice and picks 5090 i will think him a retard but i will select the rest of the parts for him all the sameWhat a weird ass post anon
>>106831462Any idea how they'd compare to those old ones of mine? And when you listed r1280s, the closest I could find is r1280Ts or r1280DBs. Did you mean either of those, or am I just shit at searching? S has an option for connecting a subwoofer, right? Should I use my old one in such a case? >>106831539I honestly have no idea what the market looks like right now, so I don't know what the budget should be like. Around ~$250 would probably be my ceiling unless there is some significant value increase there, but preferably I'd want to spend half that.I use speakers every day for music, movies, gaming etc. I dislike using headsets for a long time, so I only use them for calls. 5.1/7.1/whatever-other-set-up-requires-setting-speakers-to-the-side-or-front would be hard to place, so I'd rather have something like 2.0/2.1 so that I just place stuff on top of my desk with an optional subwoofer below on the floor. For stuff that goes on top of the desk, being below 20cm tall would make for an easier placement, but isn't a must.
>>106831561>have to wait 2 days for another delivery
>>106831601>Around ~$250 would probably be my ceilingOkay yeah the first anon was bang on the money with the Edifiers (or some similar Chink-lite active system). I think they make a 2.1 setup at around $250 but if you want to go lower stick to 2.0 and add a sub later if you feel you need it.
>>106830754kek
when do the next gen Graphics cards come out? this gen is not strong enough for UE5

I finally fixed my pc thank you /g/!!I (dont hate me for this) propped the psu cable and used super glue on the socket, but I got a white light issue so after a day of rest I pulled out the RAM sticks and put them back in so now its working!
How much will i regret getting a 5060 ti 16gb? I have a 3080 rn
>>106831638get rid of that frilly dress and rainbow flag, buy a real gpu like heterosexual men do
>>106831645CES 2027
>>106831620Edifiers R1280DBs seem to be for around $100 on some sale here right now, MR4 used to go for a couple bucks cheaper, but it seems to be on a bit of a price hike right now (maybe a start of price raises before Black Friday). How do those two compare to each other (and to my old stuff)?
>>106831686about 112 percent
>>106830906Wait until you see DDR5 pricing.
So AMD's new stuff is just the "embedded" crap and not actually a 9950X3d2?
>>106831685nice, don't be a fucking chimpanzee next time
full tower flux pro case too massivemid tower flux case obviously inferior build qualityI just want perfection bros
>>106831717oki
>>1068316865060 ti is a bit slower or equal to a 3080 outside of path tracing and the absolute newest games. Go up a tier or two at least.
>>106831601for $250 I'd probably just get the edifiers and probably save the $100 for something else. If you could stretch that to $300ish and be willing to go used you could get some better class speakers but it'd be more effort, if you're not anal about audio it'd probably not be worth the hassle. The 1280T and DB are the same speaker, the DBs just have bluetooth compatibility.
>>106831738>mid tower flux case obviously inferior build qualityI'm still pissed off they did that. Such a hack job too they clearly never meant to make Flux for this size and just shitted it out for more money.
>>106830906>2 years agoRight, 2023 was the best year (so far) to buy SSDs. Hueg NAND flash oversupply enabled SSD producers to get really aggressive with pricing for many months. It was glorious.Captcha agrees: NRGM2
>>106831741>>106831699Thanks bros
>>106831686don't be crazy it's crazy how many think a 3080 is trash now
>>106831693Haven't heard either of them personally so I won't comment - read some reviews/testing. I imagine either would be fine and should sound way better than your old kit. One caveat I'll add is that if you're used to a cheapo 2.1 then going to 2.0 might sound thin. I don't imagine the sub on the 3030s is /good/ but it can probably shake the room more than a set of 4" bookshelves.

>>106831862Can't do much better than the ASUS XG27ACS (180Hz) when it's discounted near $220.There are some cheaper 1440p monitors on Amazon with faster refresh rates, but I doubt they'll have better factory-calibrated colors.M27QA is an alternative and is discounted to $180 in the US.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QE0tQ6fYkOwIf you're in the US, I'd consider any of these monitors that are discounted atm.https://pcpartpicker.com/product/jXmNnQ/lg-27gs75q-b-270-2560-x-1440-180-hz-monitor-27gs75q-bhttps://pcpartpicker.com/product/JPKnTW/dell-alienware-aw2725dm-270-2560-x-1440-180-hz-monitor-aw2725dmKTC H27T22 was also decently reviewed by DisplayNinja.https://www.displayninja.com/ktc-h27t22-review/
>>106832098Might have rattling fans, hopefully they fixed that shit over the months.
>>106832187I got it from best buy and have the membership 2 month return. So I'm going to keep checking and see if the asus comes back in stock and I can swap it out. Although I've been googling around and I can't find anyone saying anything bad about the pny. I kind of like that they are US based. Might just try using it for a bit and if I have no problems I'll probably just keep it. Honestly don't like asus, armory crate is malware and I've heard their warranty system is horrendous to work with.
>>106832087It’s more than I paid for the same thing a few months ago not on sale but it’s not a terrible deal in a vacuum. Just make sure you need the provided heatsink because that one is difficult to remove iirc. It’s great for ps5, for example that has no included ssd heatsink.
